Introduction
Swing trading sits between day trading and long‑term positioning, making it ideal for gold’s clean trends and technical structure. Fewer, better trades often outperform constant action.
Define the Bias
On the Daily, note regime with the 200 SMA and mark major levels. On the 4H, look for momentum shifts: structure breaks, higher lows, or bullish engulfing off demand zones.
Entry Patterns
- Pullback to support: Prior resistance turned support with a signal candle.
- Breakout retest: Confirmed switch of resistance to support.
- Channel bounce: Respecting trend lines with clear invalidation.
Risk/Reward Optimization
Plan a base R of 1:2. Take partials at 1:1, trail under higher lows, and let winners run when momentum persists. Avoid stacking correlated trades; one quality swing is enough.
Holding Considerations
Swings may last days to weeks. Account for swap rates and event risk. Journal context, trigger, and management; review monthly to refine edge.
Conclusion
Swing trading gold rewards patience and clarity. With multi‑timeframe alignment and disciplined risk, medium‑term moves become highly tradable.
